Hi,

I'm looking to build a wifi enabled PC but don't need:
  • Graphic card
  • Storage hard drive
  • Case
  • OS
  • Peripherals

I'd like it to be as quiet as possible with a decent ranged wifi card.

I was recommended the LEADEX III 650W 80 PLUS GOLD MODULAR POWER SUPPLY - BLACK but it seems PSUs are out of stock everywhere.

Can anyone help spec me up please?

Thanks!

Apologies, yeah a bit of a confusing title.

I'd aim for something along the lines of

Ryzen 3600 or 3700x in budget allows it
MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
16gb DDR4 3200mhz or faster

The Samsung 860 1TB ssd seems to be the cheapish 1TB drive on OCUK so maybe shop around for an alternative

Psu is dependent on your GPU also but a solid 500w - 650w PSU would do the job... just make sure its got a decent rating, i tend to go for Gold rated PSU's, just finding one in stock is a challenge at times :p

This seem's to be one of the only ones in stock. 2 left in stock as I type this. :D

It's a good unit by all accounts, designed by Seasonic. 10 year warranty.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £86.99 (includes shipping: £0.00)


Here is the rest of the part's I'd go for tried to stick with items in stock at the moment where possible.

Added options for Air and AIO Cooler as not sure on which you would prefer.

The Memory is also available in a 32 gig kit if you prefer.

Storage there really isn't much in stock at moment maybe worth looking at a Sabrent Rocket.

Also depends on which case and GPU you are using for size / form factor of mobo etc.

Another option for the mobo would be the MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WiFi but you'd need to find stock or wait. But atleast you wouldn't need a separate wifi card.
